Reflection of Surah Al-Fatiha
By: Dr. Houria Abdelrehem
🟪🟥✅تأملات في سورة الفاتحة (4):
لماذا (الفاتحة) سر القرآن، وما سر (الفاتحة)؟
قال بعض السلف: الفاتحة سر القرآن وسرها (إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ)والسؤال: لماذا؟
🟪والجواب:
1. (إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ) تبرؤ من الشرك.
2.(وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ) تبرؤ من الحول والقوة والتفويض إلى الله.
لذا وجب علينا ألا نعبد إلا الله ولا نستعين إلا به، ولنكن على يقين من أنه كافينا بما يشغلنا.
🟪🟥✅• Reflections from Surah Al Fatihah
Why is Al Fatihah the heart of the Quran ? And what is the heart of Surah Al Fatihah ?
Some of the pious predecessors said : al Fatihah is the heart of the Quran and the heart of Surah Al Fatihah are these words (إياك نعبد و إياك نستعين )
✅• So the question is , why?
• Answer:
1. (إياك نعبد ) Distances you from shirk
2. (إياك نستعين) Distances you from associating power and might to anyone other than Allah, and to associate power and might to Allah the Most Honorable and Majestic
🟪• That is why it is necessary upon us that we do not worship anyone but Allah and we do not ask anyone except Allah , then we will be upon the certainty that whatever Allah granted us is enough
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ قَالُوا رَبُّنَا اللَّهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَقَامُوا تَتَنَزَّلُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ أَلَّا تَخَافُوا وَلَا تَحْزَنُوا وَأَبْشِرُوا بِالْجَنَّةِ الَّتِي كُنتُمْ تُوعَدُونَ
(As for) those who say: Our Lord is Allah, then continue in the right way, the angels descend upon them, saying: Fear not, nor be grieved, and receive good news of the garden which you were promised.
اللَّهُمَّ طَهِّرْ قَلْبِي مِنَ النِّفَاقِ، وَعَمَلِي مِنَ الرِّيَاءِ، وَلِسَانِي مِنَ الْكَذِبِ، وَعَيْنِي مِنَ الْخِيَانَةِ، فَإِنَّكَ تَعْلَمُ خَائِنَةَ الْأَعْيُنِ، وَمَا تُخْفِي الصُّدُورُ
O Allāh, purify my heart from hypocrisy, my actions from show, my tongue from lies and my eyes from deception. For surely You fully aware of the deception of the eyes and all that the chest conceals.
